55 Days At Peking
Bom-bom-bom...
The year was Nineteen-Hundred T'is worth remembering The men who lived through Fifty-five days at Peking
T'was called the Boxer Insurrection A bloody, Oriental war Against all nations Of the Diplomatic Corps
The flags of France and Britain How they fluttered in the breeze The Italian and the Russian And the flag of the Japanese
Then came the sound of bugles The rolling drums of fury And the streets of Peking Were as empty as a tomb
Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom (Dimitri Tiomkin / Paul Francis Webster) Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
The Empress of all China Gave the signal to begin Let the foreign devils Be driven from Peking
They stormed the French Ligation They attacked with shot and shell And they came in blood red blouses Screaming 'Sha Shou' as they fell
The drums have long been muffled The bugles cease to ring But through the ages You can hear them echoing
Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom Fifty-five days at Peking
Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom Bom-bom, bom-bom-bom Fifty-five days at Peking
